The goals of this Architectural Standards Chapter are to:
(a) Encourage development that contributes to the City of Blue Ash's unique sense of place, and complements the City's existing high quality architecture and building design.
(b) Ensure that all developments, except one and two-family residential, are held to a high standard of development so that they complement and enhance the overall appearance of the City.
(c) Provide guidance to the development community so it is understood that the architectural standards of the City include site layout, architecture, building materials, screening, signage, and other site improvements.
(d) Implement the vision and guidelines established in the City's Land Use Plan.
(e) Be used by City staff, City boards and commissions, and any hired consultants or professionals in the review, evaluation, and approval of development and improvements to property.
(f) Promote unique and creative building design with the use of high quality building materials. These standards are not intended to require a particular architectural theme or style.
